Vos vestros servate, meos mihi linquite mores

There's a Saint for everything, even the internet, St. Isidore of Seville. The Pope even sent his first e-message via the internet today and declared that the internet needs to be regulated to reduce depravity in the world. Hey, I like the online depravity of use.perl and #perl and such. Of course, the net is impossible to fully 'regulate' but I guess he's obligated to say it even if it'll never happen.

"He said the Catholic Church had adapted to every discovery through the ages, from the Renaissance to the invention of printing and the Industrial Revolution, and must now learn to reach the masses via cyberspace. "

Somebody better wake up Galileo and Kepler! :) That's funny. The Holy See has one of the most attractive web sites out there though it's a pity they don't have the library online. For those of you who can't wait for the church to 'adapt' and 'reach the masses' you can use The Internet Confssional which is powered by Perl :)

Perl: Powering Absolution. The Pope would make one hell of a spokesma n :)
